...The HP ScanJet 8300 is a Professional Image Scanner from HP's Scan jet series. This is one of the top end ScannersHP manufacture and is ideal for the business domain. There is also an 8300gp model of this scanner which is a Graphic Arts scanner and has a monitor color-meter calibrator as a added feature ideal for graphic designers.
Now about the HP ScanJet 8300, the scanner has an OR (Optical Resolution) of 4800x4800dpi and will scan high dynamic range in 48bit colour. This is fine for transparency and negative scanning.

...This is my third scanner, the previous ones having died. I chose the HP as it was supposed to give quite reasonable negative/slide scans in additon to the usual flatbed scanning.
Priced at around £60, it is a flatbed scanner. The top cover is removable, allowing the scanning of large books.
Incorporate in the cover is a 35mm negative/slide carrier. This allows the scanning of photgraphic material, and special built-in functionality provides for this.
Optical resolution is 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi, 48-but colour depth.
The scanner has its own PSU, a "wall wart" rather than taking its power from USB.
Installation was easy, and the actual scanning is of very good quality and reasonably fast. The included OCR software works very well.
There are buttons on the top for doing "instant" scans, photocopies, etc.
I do have some...

In summary:
* Very unintuitive, convoluted and unpleasant to use (same on Win2K as XP)

- sometimes the SW crashes with a dialogue "try reinstalling HP software", and needs a reboot
